Introduction:
A
I can hear that highway calling
D9 A D9
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
A
This is usually goodbye
D9 A D9
And yet those words I just can't find here as I hold her
D9
She's like no other woman
E
That I have ever known before
D9
And it ain't me to see the morning sun
E4 E
From this side of the door
A D9 F#m E
Why ain't running, why ain't gone
A D9 F#m E
How does she hold me without holding on
D9 E
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
F#m E D9
Something's not right in there ain't nothing wrong
F#m D9 E
It's got me wondering, why ain't running
A F#m E4
Why ain't I gone
A
All those worlds I left behind me
D9 A D9
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
A
But if they stood right here beside me
D9 A D9
They would never recognize me for all that she's done
D9
Once happiness was only

Whenever I was on my own

Any time that I'm alone

E
Or made a chain that strong
D9
And God ain't never made a place
E4 E
I felt like I belong
A D9 F#m E
Why ain't running, why ain't gone
A D9 F#m E
How does she hold me without holding on

Something's not right in there ain't nothing wrong
F#m D9 E4
It's got me wondering, why ain't running
